I came here with a bunch of friends on a Badger football night. It was very busy so I was glad I called up for a reservation. They didn't have a table available to reserve for a couple of hours but was able to reserve us the bar area. It wasn't a perfect setup but for six guys on a Saturday night, it was good enough. I was also surprised that the entire place had a remodel since the last time I was there. Instead of the Wisconsin "North Woods" look, I was surprised with a modern looking restaurant.
Everyone got Manhattan's and they were delicious. This is a signature drink here and I highly recommend it. We had their cheese curd, fried pickles, and the chicken sliders for starters. The cheese curds were solid...some of the biggest curds I've ever had. The sliders were also delicious. I could have just ordered another for my main meal and been very happy. I was disappointed with the fried pickles though. It was clear they made these from scratch but the "pickles" tasted much more like cucumbers.
There was a plethora of entrees ordered - BBQ Brisket Mac and Cheese, Fish Fry, Short Rib Stroganoff, and their special that night...Prime Rib. There wasn't a single person who didn't immensely enjoy their meal. I would highly recommend all of these entrees.
The only other disappointment was I had been really looking forward to their Grasshopper dessert drink. However, they ran out of vanilla ice cream...on a Saturday at 7pm? Manager should have run out to a grocery store to pick up more...come on!
Overall, the meal was great. This is a date-worthy place but make sure you make a reservation. If you do get the chance to try their Grasshopper, do it. It's to die for!
